Chapter 585: Mantis Stalking the Cicada

Duel Academy Island.

The surging waves beat against the island, and the sparse moonlight barely illuminated the moss and ferns on the ground through the dense canopy, as if it were the only faint vitality in this silent place.

Professor Cobra from the Western Academy walked in this forest, dry branches crunching under his feet. The air was filled with an indescribable heaviness and oppression, as if even breathing had become heavy.

Professor Cobra held the equipment in his hand. He walked and stopped, seemingly relying on that thing to identify the direction.

This was his first time on this island. The feeling Duel Academy's island gave him so far was very indescribable, especially in the middle of the night in this dense forest. The towering ancient trees cast huge shadows, weaving together like an invisible net, tightly wrapping all outsiders.

It didn't look like a school, but like a forbidden territory of some Demon King.

However, the professor finally found what he was looking for.

An abandoned laboratory buried deep in the island.

The rusty metal door was half-hidden, as if it were a gateway to another world. The dim moonlight faintly penetrated through the broken glass windows, and the cool wind shuttled through the cracks, making a whimpering low sound.

You can never imagine how many inexplicable things are hidden on an island that seems to be just a school.

This place was originally a laboratory mainly for animals, with the purpose of exploring the possibility of letting animals learn to play cards. It sounds very ridiculous at first, but in fact, their research has been proven feasible.

When Jaden and others were in their first year, a monkey that could play cards once escaped from this laboratory and even dueled Jaden.

Some scholars believe that compared to humans, animals and spirits have a higher natural affinity, so they want to let animals play cards to explore the connection with the spirit world. However, this project was later determined to have a tendency to abuse animals, and was therefore ordered to stop.

The lights soon turned on, and the computer screen in the control room was also lit up, illuminating Professor Cobra's majestic and terrifying face.

"Old equipment," Cobra said with some disgust, humming. "Well, at least it can be used."

Saying that, he tapped on the console and brought up the surveillance screen. Every screen projected images from inside Duel Academy.

These were surveillance devices he had secretly deployed all over Duel Academy, as well as some mobile probes. Tiny mobile cameras that were almost invisible to the naked eye shuttled through the academy, helping him grasp the first-hand situation in this school as quickly as possible.

In this way, any movement of the school was basically under his control.

Thinking of this, Professor Cobra's lips curled up, revealing a dangerous smile like a cobra.

Although the situation had changed from what was expected, overall it was still under control.

Duel King Fujiki You Xuan... didn't expect his influence on the surface of this school to be so great. Looking at this posture, if this guy rose up and said he wanted to overthrow the principal's rule, all teachers and students would support it... no, maybe Sheppard himself would support it.

And he specifically named that he wanted to duel with himself, could it be that he already suspected him?

Professor Cobra rested his chin on his hand and thought about it.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, his purpose was just to absorb enough dueling energy to let that Lord resurrect. The original plan was also thinking that if the energy was not enough in the end, he would personally go into battle. The professor actually had considerable confidence in his dueling strength.

Duel King, meeting him is also fine. The duel with this guy should be able to produce energy of quite good quality.

Everything is under control.

However, Professor Cobra, who was thinking this way, obviously hadn't heard an old saying.

It is said that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Professor Cobra, who was monitoring every move of the entire academy, didn't realize at all that the footage of him leering and sneering at the surveillance screen was also being monitored by others at this time.

Fujiki You Xuan looked at the floating projection screen in his hand and muttered to himself: "So many years have passed... it's rare that I haven't remembered the plot wrong, this old fox really hid in this broken laboratory." Vampire, carrying a parasol, poked her head in the side.

"This person doesn't look like a good person. Does Master want me to..."

She stopped when she said this, and showed her little tiger teeth again, making a throat-slitting gesture at her fair throat.

Fujiki You Xuan looked at her helplessly: "Can you stop being so bloody, it will be 18+."

Vampire acted weakly: "But I am a vampire..."

"But she makes sense."

Black Scorpion Mina, who was wearing a white coat and was the school doctor on the surface, also said on the side.

"This person doesn't look like he has good intentions, why not just do him?"

"It's okay," Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "I know what he wants to do, I have a count in my heart."

Hearing him say so, the spirits didn't say anything more.

Getting up and leaving his laboratory, Fujiki You Xuan walked out of the corridor for only a few steps when he bumped into Senior Rei Kogure.

In fact, the senior had already graduated from the academy. However, later Fujiki You Xuan's laboratory and the student council were closely connected, and many things were handled by Senior Kogure.

Later, Fujiki You Xuan also felt that she had already mastered many jobs, and if she graduated and left, finding someone else to take over and handing over the work would be troublesome, so he simply hired the senior with a high salary to stay and continue working.

Senior Kogure now also feels very lucky. Her scientific research talent is average, and her dueling ability, although outstanding among ordinary people, seems a bit mediocre among the academy's elites.

Today, Fujiki You Xuan's laboratory is already a top-tier work unit in the entire dueling world, and talents from all walks of life squeeze their heads to get in every quarter. That is to say, she entered early in the startup stage of the laboratory, and now she can even mix into a management position, which can be considered a social elite.

"President Senior." Fujiki You Xuan greeted with a smile.

Rei Kogure was embarrassed: "You're joking, I'm no longer the president, now you are the boss... since you are here, just right, there is something in the school that wants me to ask for your opinion. I don't know if you are now..."

"Say it."

"It's like this. You also know that many of the academy's new students came here because of you, and the little juniors and juniors all want to have a chance to get in touch. So the new students jointly applied to the academy, wanting to send student representatives to apply for an exchange duel with you. I don't know if..."

"Oh, just this. It's okay, but student representative..."

Fujiki You Xuan thought about it.

"First-year students this year? Then I remember it should be..."

Rei Kogure handed over a student file.

"Rei Saotome, a new student in the Ra-Yellow dormitory."

Fujiki You Xuan's expression was a bit strange.

Huh? Yellow dormitory?

Isn't it Osiris Red?
